Most recently, Kole appeared as a series regular in the Sky TV/Canal+ western drama series Django alongside Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts.
Kole wrote, directed, and starred in the 2012 short film Fifty Pence, which received several nominations during its film festival run, including for Best Drama at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival. Kole has since written, directed and starred in a handful of short films, with The First Time I Never Met You being his latest.
His previous television credits include BBC/PBS‘s WWII period drama World on Fire and ITV’s Manhunt: The Night Stalker. Kole is set to appear in another period TV series, Hulu’s We Were The Lucky Ones, alongside Logan Lerman.
